China’s military advisers ‘heading to Syria to help fight ISIS’ – report

Just in case the Gulf States and NATO want to mess around China is going in to back up Russia on this one.

ISIS is so foul even the Chinese are affected by ISIS stirring up trouble in some of China’s Muslim populations. China has about 10 million Muslims in their country.

“China will be helping out the Syrian government in the fight against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIL/ISIS) by sending “military advisers,” media reports have claimed. “The Chinese will be arriving in the coming weeks,” a Syrian army official told the Lebanon-based news website Al-Masdar Al-‘Arabi.
The report claims that a Chinese naval vessel is on its way to Syria with dozens of “military advisers” on board. They will reportedly be followed by troops.
The ship is said to have passed the Suez Canal in Egypt and be making its way through the Mediterranean Sea.
According to the website, the advisers will be joining Russian personnel in the Latakia region.

Meanwhile, an Israeli military news website, DEBKAfile, has cited military sources as saying that a Chinese aircraft carrier, the Liaoning-CV-16, has already been spotted at the Syrian port of Tartus on the Mediterranean coast. It was said to be accompanied by a guided missile cruiser. Baku – APA. In a bid to strengthen the Russian air campaign, another Syrian ally - China - is now planning to deploy Shenyang J-15, a carrier-based fighter aircraft, in Syria, International Business Times reported.

These people don't have play wars like the US. They fight to win!

Several reports have stated that Beijing has agreed to join the Russian air campaign.Several reports have stated that Beijing has agreed to join the Russian air campaign.

The Israeli military and intelligence news website DEBKAfile has now claimed that the Chinese are preparing to join Russia. The Jerusalem-based news website noted that the "J-15 warplanes will take off from the Chinese Liaoning-CV-16 aircraft carrier, which reached Syrian shores on 26 September."

China is backing up Russia on this one it looks like. They both are Syrian allies and have strategic interests in backing Assad as well as potential problems with their respective Muslim populations in terms of ISSI influence.
The two powers hopefully will clean up the US' mess its made all over the ME.

I pose a different scenario for your interest.

A possible motivation of Putin is stirring this up so much-even to the point of a minor fracas-that oil prices could be driven up dramatically.

This would re-coup the financial costs to the Russians of this move and even make an overall profit by it if the prices jump enough. In that scenario, it's China that suffers via increased costs to import their massive use of oil....

China 'could' be merely keeping an eye on Putin and his boys....

Just a thought....

Hmmmz. Look over there!

China, Russia, U.S.: Looming Face-Off In Asia Over TPP With Korea At The Vortex

The ultimate danger, though, is that North Korea could explode, implode, or erupt in a way that could discombobulate the precarious balance of the region. Both China and Russia would be on North Korea’s side. The result could be a conflagration that could make the troubles in the middle east and eastern Europe look like brush-fire wars.

This is getting too weird.

Good. Let them get sucked into the Middle East and choke in the oil and blood for a change. If we are lucky, they will wipe out ISIS. And neither is likely to pay much attention to the Geneva conventions in the process, so it will be their turn to be the big bad oppressors for a change.

Dont mind me im just whistling, wondering what Japan will do, since they declared their policy which was a let down, i do love that nation. But we all need to contribute, Iceland as their example has a population of 320k, Japan has 127m.
Form a program for the future not wishful thinking. We all contribute equally, we all share.

Translation: China is checking out their new oil and mineral 'rights'.

Second.

There have been so many reports of China getting involved all working its way back to that one source - yet China hasnt said anything and nothings been seen.

I'm calling total crap - why would China bother?

China preparing to team up with Russia to fight ISIS

Nope, this is the real deal. Putin did call for other nations to join him and hey presto, it looks like he has friends.

Obama and his lame coalition are looking more and more impotent every day. Hey Obama, when you gonna admit defeat and join with Putin instead of displaying silly nationalistic pride and insisting you are right even when you are so far this side of wrong it is laughble?

The US has become so sinister and filled up with open secret “hidden” agendas they say even Israel supports Russia in this!


Watching John McCain and Lindsey Graham on Fox tonight was like watching Dracula and the werewolf as they’re still talking about Americans Syrian allies with Frankenstein, Bill O’Reilly.


China and Russia just see an ally being attacked by some inhuman, savage religious fanatics who are murdering Christians, Muslims, Yezidis, Kurds, Syrians, Iraqis, Sunnis, Shia, Europeans and everybody and who the American power structure has abandoned so they can play their game of chicken.

Has the silly MSM forgot who ISIS is and has been doing?

a reply to: Willtell

I am frightened this really will escalate to WW3 and it is all because of American stupidity. Australia somehow got involved in all of this and I do not relish in the thought of being caught on the side of the USA if this blows up in their face.

Why can't the USA see their blinding mistakes and admit to them? Why does this look increasingly like it really will end up in armed confrontation between the USA who are at the stage of defending nothing but nationalistic pride and the Russian coalition who are purely interested in squashing terrorism through support of the legitimate government?

If China does step in it’s over for the US and its allies Turkey, the Gulf States in their scam to destroy Syria.

China doesn’t step in stuff like this lightly it knows a threat when it sees one.

America is so sinister, ruthless, and in the end abysmally ignorant, it would empower savages like ISIS just to fulfill some geo political goal, even though this group has the mentality to destroy the world if it really got its hands on any nuclear material.

As Putin so succinctly said to America at the UN:

“Do you know what you have done?”


The US is too engrossed in this geopolitical Hitlerian plot it can't easily get away from it.

a reply to: Willtell

Oh how the mighty have fallen in the case of America. It used to be the leading light of the democratic world and now it is fast replacing the former Soviet Union in terms of sinister and asinine plots to overthrow the world.

a reply to: markosity1973

Very true with the US press along for the ride

Though I found yesterday a RARE MSM op-ed that is outstanding on the Syrian issue

Thomas Friedman, read your Chomsky: The New York Times gets Putin/Obama all wrong, again

I would implore folks to please read it…it is a rare gem from the MSM

The meeting with Obama in New York did not go well. It was extremely contentious, and Obama did not engage. Putin made the case that the important first priority had to be to eliminate Daesh [the Islamic State], and that after more than a year of the U.S. campaign there has been no significant success. Indeed, the contrary is the case.

Putin’s point was that air power alone will not succeed, and that now the only real boots on the ground are the Kurds and the armies of Syria and its supporters—Hezbollah and some Iranians, but the Iranians troops involved in the struggle with Daesh are operating mostly in Iraq.

Putin proposed creating a coalition, the equivalent of the anti-Hitler alliance, to focus on Daesh, and then focusing in Round 2 on the transition of Syria into a form of decentralized federation of highly autonomous regions—Kurdish, Sunni, Alawite-Christian and a few others—which all work together now

Putin had been led to believe through the Lavrov /Kerry channel… that there would be a broader agreement to work together. So he was surprised that Obama did not seize the opportunity to engage the battle in a coordinated way…. In the end they agreed only on coordination between the two militaries to avoid running into each other.
Putin left New York with the view that it is now much more important to support the government in Syria than he had thought before he went, because he came convinced that the U.S., left to its present course, is going to create another Libya, this time in Syria. Israel has a similar view, as does Egypt, Iran, and, increasingly, countries in Europe. With Daesh already so deeply implanted, this would lead to vast crisis—military, political, economic, humanitarian—that would spread across all of the Middle East, into the Caucasus and across North Africa, with millions of refugees….

Interestingly Putin's idea of a coalition is exactly what I posted months ago when ISIS first reared its ugly head from the depths of hell

Russia-China relations at ‘historic peak’ despite ‘illegitimate Western restrictions’ - Putin

I guess, the BRICS allies are just ensuring their common goals of breaking free from the Western back Global market is not stalled by US ambitions in the ME.

Russia Precipitates the Abandonment of the SWIFT International Payments System among BRICS Countries

After the reintegration of Crimea in Russian territory, the United States has pressured regulatory authorities of the European Union to restrict the access of Russia to SWIFT, the system of international payment founded by 200 Anglo-Saxon banks in the decade of the 1970s. In response, the government of Vladimir Putin has established an alternative system of payments that has already begun to extend its operations among Russian banks and, let it be said in passing, has served as an inspiration for China as well as the other countries that make up BRICS.

There were more than 20 million Muslims in China, according to Chinese sources in 2000. Just saying. International Religious Freedom Report (US Department of State) estimated it to about 50 million in 2010. The Chinese government opresses the Uighur Turks and Hui Chinese, which are Muslim. You can see a hell lot of Uighur Turks joining IS and Jabhat Al Nusrah (East Turkestan Islamic Movement). But it's hard for them to get out of China. It seems like China and Russia want to fight off the rebels in Syria and Iraq, before the Chechens march back towards Russia (even stronger) and the Uighurs to China.

The terrorist supporters will be so angry if and when China decides to participate in a more active manner in Syria.

China’s Warships On Route To Join Russia In Syria

Beijing is poised to join Moscow in its military operation of what the Kremlin claims to be against ISIS militants in Syria. China has already sent its military on route to Damascus, as reported by the The Express.

Russia launched deadly airstrikes in the Middle East 10 days ago, and it has been increasing the intensity of its military operation in Syria every day. Russian President Vladimir Putin has even sent Spetsnaz units, Russia’s most elite Special Forces units, to Syria.

Chinese warships are on their way to Syria, according to both Russian and Chinese military sources. There have been also numerous reports of China’s deployment of its carrier-based fighter aircraft Shenyang J-15 in Syria.

Several reports have also indicated that a large number of Chinese military advisers have already joined Russia’s personnel in the Assad regime’s stronghold Latakia province.
